am in Washington jist now by invita-
shen NV His Serene Eggslency, the Presi-
dent, ez a sort NV advisory commitiy TO
assist in settlin SIGH ticklish questions ez
may arise in the seeded States, witch is
now, thank heaven, the Government.
l remarked that to attempt to send back
them flags and SIGH, wood create feelin
in the North witch would be oncomforta-
BILE for His Eggslency, and consistently for
us.
"Why so?" wuz asked. did he not
veto the Penshun bill, and hez ther ben
any uprisin about that? IF he kin do that,
why not this?"
my liege and gentlemen" l replied
you'll diskiver that there's thunderin
site Nv difference between penshun and q
flag. Theirs many soljer who woodeni
thank ye for penshun who will raise sich
hell ez 700 never dreamed NV if We fetch
| his military record. Them flags is hi:
military record, and eff | wuz in power here
| shood let them severely alone. Troo
there wuzn't any uprisin about the pen
shuns, but the time for the uprisin AIM
! jist at hand. That will show itself mex
| yeer. No man wood more like TO see then
! flags in the South where we Good safely
| kiyer EN- with SIGH romances ez we chose
but looking at it ez praktikle man, l don'r
| like it. | hev offs. l never wuz more
comfortable in my life. | hev nothin
sp' SLY to do, and good salary TOR moi
doin it. | want His Eggslency re. elected
! in 'SS, for don't want to be hurled out oy
that comfortable place like a stun from a
catapult, and be landed ON the cold and
sterile rox Nv defect"
I've herd ehuff NV this kind Nv talk, u
said his Eggsllency, with pertenshus
frown oh his brow. I've herd enuff Nv
this kind Nv talk, and We'll dispense with
il. Pm responsible to the Dimekratic
party, witch, by the way, | am. Wat is the
Dimekratic party?"
The order wuz determined upon and
ishood at about 10 A. NJ, and the morning
wuz spent in innosent hilaIity. Ginrel
Hercules McHammer, Nv Mississippy, sed
how wonderful is the finger ~ Providence
and how the Lord he'd showed up in the
matter Nv the late struggle. He (McHam-
mer) went into the war actilly expectin 20
bust the old Government and controle the
whole kentry by forse Nv arms. But the
Lord rebooked our presumshen. He per-
mitted US to be whaled in the field to show
the yooselisnis Nv the South's appeelin to
arms so long ez they had the Northern
Dimocrisy to depend upon. The South
wuz crushed in the field, but what hap
pened? The Dimocrisy Nv the North cum
! promptly to her aid, and 10! where are we
| now? We got back into the Government
with the addishnel representation that the
niger popelashen gave US, without being
at all worried with the niger vote. We
| he'd electid President from the North, il
is troo, but that wuZ only becoz Northern
man alluz wood do more for us than q
! Southern.
| Genrel RosSer, NV Virginny, did not
want to speshly irritate the North. He
| wanted absloot peece, and he considered
this thing Nv sending the flags South so
that they could be safely lied over wuz a
| step in the rite direckshen. But, in adj
dishn 10 returnin these flags, he shood in
sist upon some other things. Frinstance,
laws shood be passed perventin SIGN ruf.
! fans ez Genrel Sheridan from goin down
the Shenandoa Valley, remindin them
shivelrous people NV the time when be
went down there with some bloo-koted
I.inkin ruffians behind him and made it
warm for the then unsubdood Confedrisy.
Time and offises heZ mitigated the greefs
Nv the people NV that valley, but SIGH Nv
EN- ez are not absent holdin consulates
wooden't like TO see Sheridan We are
willin' to permit Sheridan to live, but Their
must be limit to what he docs.
His Eggslency remarkt that all this WIZ
troo, that he wuz willin to do this to bring
about the cry Nv good feelin in the Dime
kratic party, which wuz lozated in the
South and in the lower wards Nv Moo
| York city.
Genrel NJ Hammer remarl.t that Their
he'd got to be good deel more dun than
that to satisfy HIM. He shood insist on
penshunin Confederit soljers ekal to Fed.
rel, and datin the penshuns back even with
the Fedrel soljers.
l wuz rithin under these inioodishus an
nounsements Nv policy, and wuz in hopes
some one would steer His Eggslency away
from such a dangerous course But not
one Nv EN- dared say a word cept Endi-
colt, witch remarked that it was prinsiple,
and in the coz of prinsiple he wuz willing
the party shood die, eff it he'd to, but it
wood be with its feet to the foe and lis eyes
to heaven.
HELEN bazes ~ shreeked, wot folly
is this? Watts all this about diein with
our feet to the foe and our eyes to heaven +?
don't want to die. | amt list now con-
serned about wat kind Nv d corpse | shell
make, for | don't want to be corpse at all
Hewitt the Dimocrisy got sense enuff to
live? Can't we manage to eggsist while
and enjoy the spoils Yer Eggslency, re-
consider this rash act"
. Neverw sed he. 4" never l hev sed it,
ard it shell be done"
Then 700 may ez well pack yoor bag
gage and prepare for skip March 4, 1855
you may ez well !"

to send back the flags he'd got onto the
streets, il had bin tellygraffed all over the
kentry, and responses wuz coming back
ez thick ez lice in Egypt. No matter wich
it wuz from, Republicans or Dimocrats, it
wuz one ccntinyood pertest against the
move.
Wool 700 insult the entire North ?"
shreeked the Republicans.
Wood 700 throw away the last chance
700 hev for re-eleksbunf ' shreeked the
Dimocnsy.
And His Eggslency looked over the tele-
grams. Wher is Milwaukee," he asked
teebly. " IS ther SIGH place ez Peoria ?"
he murmured. Pittsburgh ~
" You bet ther is such places" sed I, ez
you will discover next year.
Well, eff we hev made mistake we
hev made one, and must back down. Bay
ard, write dispatch saying that after Civ
ing the matter more matoorer considera-
snun we have decided to let the id flags
stay where they are, not becoz we don't
consider it the correct thing to do, becoZ.
heyin eggsamined the law, we find we amt
justified in dom it, though it shood be
done"
My Liege, don't say that, | emplored.
Say that it was the work NV somebody else,
and that 700 never knowed thing about
it till it was done, and that the moment
700 got wind Nv it 700 made hot haste to
rescind the order. Put it on Bayard. put
it on Endicott, put it on me- We hev got
to nominate 700 agin, and we want some
sho of electin 700, so that you can reap
pint Us. Oh my Liege-"
lie WIZ immovable. Directing Bayard
to do ez he directed, he had stalked out of
the chamber-Toletlo Blade.
